If you have a Lumia PureView smartphone, then you’ll have been enjoying the new Nokia Camera app for weeks now.

It’s a superb app that brings together easy automatic settings, the sophisticated power of the Pro Camera app, and the versatility of the Smart Camera app under one roof.

And it’s going to get even better, for more people.

Starting today, a new Nokia Beta Labs trial is launched for the Nokia Camera beta app. The app is intended to work on all Lumia smartphones running Windows Phone 8, not just the ones with the PureView label.

If you’d like to take part, sign in with your Nokia account and get started.

Initially, it will look and act the same as the existing Nokia Camera app. The first phase of the beta is to make sure it works to the same high standards across the product range.

But over time, experimental new features will be added, refined, and – once they’re completely ready – deployed to the stable, non-Beta Camera app through the normal Store update process.

So download the Nokia Camera beta app now and get new features faster!

But as with any beta software, the app might be unstable and you may hit other issues – be patient!

If you choose to take part, do give feedback on your experience to the team on the Nokia Beta Labs forum or in the app itself
